From Explanations to Architecture: Explainability-Driven CNN Refinement for Brain Tumor Classification in MRI

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2506.09161v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Recent brain tumor classification methods often report high accuracy but rely on deep, over-parameterized architectures with limited interpretability, making it difficult to determine whether predictions are driven by tumor-relevant evidence or by spurious cues such as background artifacts or normal tissue. We propose an explainable convolutional neural network (CNN) framework that enhances model transparency without sacrificing classification accuracy.
